Definitions
- This disclosure relates to power supply systems, and more particularly, to circuitry and methodology for controlling power distribution among multiple wires of a communication cable in a system for supplying power over the communication cable.
- Ethernet has become the most commonly used method for local area networking.
- IEEE 802.3 group the originator of the Ethernet standard, has developed an extension to the standard, known as IEEE 802.3af, that defines supplying power over Ethernet cabling.
- IEEE 802.3af defines a Power over Ethernet (PoE) system that involves delivering power over unshielded twisted-pair wiring from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to a Powered Device (PD) located at opposite sides of a link.
- PSE Power Sourcing Equipment
- PD Powered Device
- network devices such as IP phones, wireless LAN access points, personal computers and Web cameras have required two connections: one to a LAN and another to a power supply system.
- the PoE system eliminates the need for additional outlets and wiring to supply power to network devices. Instead, power is supplied over Ethernet cabling used for data transmission.
- PSE and PD are non-data entities allowing network devices to supply and draw power using the same generic cabling as is used for data transmission.
- a PSE is the equipment electrically specified at the point of the physical connection to the cabling, that provides the power to a link.
- a PSE is typically associated with an Ethernet switch, router, hub or other network switching equipment or midspan device.
- a PD is a device that is either drawing power or requesting power. PDs may be associated with such devices as digital IP telephones, wireless network access points, PDA or notebook computer docking stations, cell phone chargers and HVAC thermostats.
- the main functions of the PSE are to search the link for a PD requesting power, optionally classify the PD, supply power to the link if a PD is detected, monitor the power on the link, and disconnect power when it is no longer requested or required.
- a PD participates in the PD detection procedure by presenting a PoE detection signature defined by the IEEE 802.3af standard.
- the PD has an option of presenting a classification signature to the PSE to indicate how much power it will draw when powered up. Based on the determined class of the PD, the PSE applies the required power to the PD.
- the IEEE 802.3af standard describes power supply over the Ethernet by using the common mode voltage between 2 of the 4 twisted pairs within the CAT-5 cable.
- Presently the specification calls for providing power over 4 of the 8 wires typically contained in the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) CAT-5 cable. Future efforts to supply more power may use all 4 twisted pairs within the cable. Employing the second set of pairs would create a second path for current to be sent and returned through the cable.
- wires within the cable were originally intended only for data transmission, they have limited current carrying capability. Because multiple wires or groups of wires may be employed to transmit power, it would be desirable to balance the power between wires to provide the most efficient power transmission operation.
- Document FR 2 800 955 relates to a remote power supply for telecommunications terminal having an impedance checking procedure to avoid damage to incompatible units.
- a remote terminal unit power supply system uses low voltage alternating and steady test signals applied by a hub to check the presence of a local network server remote terminal unit impedance compatible with remote supply before supplying a power feed over a link comprising two pairs for data and other conductors for power supply.
- Document US 6,140,911 A relates to an electrical supply current that is sufficient to power a wireless access point.
- the electrical supply current is transmitted concurrently with a network data signal across a transmission line.
- a power and data coupler couples the network data signal and the power signal, received through a data input and a power input respectively, and transmits the coupled signal, to a distance of three meters or more, over the transmission line to a power and data decoupler.
- the power and data decoupler separates the power signal from the network data signal and supplies those signals to a power output port and a data output port, respectively, for use by a wireless access node.
- the power signal may be modulated at a low frequency relative to the frequency of the data signal, and the network data signal has a data transmission rate of one megabit/second or higher.
- Document US2003/0178979 A1 relates to a device for remote line powering in a telecommunication network in which electric power is supplied via a plurality of line pairs and aggregated to provide electric power suitable for powering an appliance.
- the electric power supplied via each of the line pairs is adapted not to exceed a pre-defined threshold.

- the power distribution circuitry may control distribution of current among wires or pairs of wires in the communication cable. For example, balance of current among the wires or pairs of wires may be provided.
- windings of a transformer for coupling a power supply device to the communication cable may be split into a first winding corresponding to the first wire, and a second winding corresponding to the second wire.
- a capacitive element may be inserted between the first and second windings to prevent a DC connection between the first and second wires.
- the power distribution circuitry may comprise a reference circuit for providing a reference voltage, first and second sense resistors corresponding to first and second wires or pairs of wires, and first and second operational amplifiers for respectively comparing the reference voltage with first and second sense voltages across the first and second sense resistors.
- the power distribution circuitry may further comprise first and second driving elements respectively coupled to outputs of the first and second operational amplifiers for controlling current values in the first and second wires or pairs of wires.

- the power distribution circuitry may comprise a reference circuit for providing a reference voltage, a first sense resistors corresponding to a first wire or pair of wires, and a current limit amplifier for comparing the reference voltage with a first sense voltage across the first sense resistor to limit a current value in the first wire or pair of wires in accordance with the reference voltage.
- the power distribution circuitry may further comprise a second sense resistor corresponding to a second wire or pair of wires, and a balance amplifier for comparing a second sense voltage across the second sense resistor with the first sense voltage to provide a balance between current values in the first and second wires or pairs of wires.
- First and second driving elements may be respectively coupled to outputs of the current limit amplifier and the balance amplifier for controlling the current values in the first and second wires or pairs of wires.
- Each of the first and second driving elements may include one or more MOSFET transistors.
- the power distribution circuit may comprise a pair of current sense elements and a first difference amplifier for producing a signal representing a difference between signals produced by the current sense elements.

- FIG. 1 shows a simplified block-diagram illustrating a Power over Ethernet (PoE) system 10 including Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) 12 having multiple ports 1 to 4 connectable to Powered Devices 14 (PD1 to PD4) via respective links, each of which may be provided using 2 or 4 sets of twisted pairs within an Ethernet cable 16.
- PoE Power over Ethernet
- PSE Power Sourcing Equipment
- PD1 to PD4 Powered Devices 14
- FIG. 1 shows four ports of the PSE 12, one skilled in the art would realize that any number of ports may be provided.
- the PSE 12 may interact with each PD in accordance with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
- the PSE 12 and the PD participate in the PD detection procedure, during which the PSE 12 probes a link to detect the PD. If the PD is detected, the PSE 12 checks the PD detection signature to determine whether it is valid or non-valid.
- the valid and non-valid detection signatures are defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard. While the valid PD detection signature indicates that the PD is in a state where it will accept power, the non-valid PD detection signature indicates that the PD is in a state where it will not accept power.
- the PD has an option of presenting a classification signature to the PSE to indicate how much power it will draw when powered up. For example, a PD may be classified as class 0 to class 4. Based on the determined class of the PD, the PSE applies the required power to the PD.
- Ethernet cable 16 To provide more power to a PD, it may be necessary to use more wires in the Ethernet cable 16. When multiple wires or groups of wires are used, distributing the power among them becomes very important.
- the power distribution makes it possible to use the Ethernet cable more efficiently.
- power must be distributed among the wires such that no single wire carries more than ⁇ .
- the present disclosure is made using the example of a current balancing circuit that balances current among wires to provide desired power distribution, one skilled in the art would realize that other parameters of the power supply system also may be controlled to distribute power among wires.
- the power distribution may be provided by controlling the voltage applied to each wire or by controlling the resistance through which current is applied to each wire.

- the power distribution control of the present disclosure may be achieved by controlling or equalizing the output voltage of each wire, the power lost over each wire, the resistance of each wire and source of power, the temperature of each wire, etc.
- the power distribution control method of the present disclosure does not require continuous measurement of parameters like wire resistance or output voltage.
- the wire resistance determined before applying power may be used for controlling power transmission after applying power.
- the wire resistance may be measured, for example, using time domain reflectometry (TDR) by applying a high frequency pulse to the wire and measuring the returned signal indicating changes in the wire impedance.
- TDR time domain reflectometry
- an exemplary power distribution system of the present disclosure comprises current balancing circuits 102 and 104 for balancing power supplied by a PSE power supply 106 among 4 twisted pairs of wire in the Ethernet cable 16.
- transformers 108 and 110 couple the current balancing circuit 102 to the top 2 twisted pairs of wires shown in FIG. 2
- transformers 112 and 114 couple the current balancing circuit 104 to the bottom 2 twisted pairs of wires shown in FIG. 2 .
- the top 2 twisted pairs may be used to send current from the PSE 12 to the PD 14, and the bottom 2 twisted pairs may provide a return path for the current from the PD 14 to the PSE 12.
- transformers 116 and 118 couple the top 2 twisted pairs of wires to the PD circuitry via diode bridges composed of diodes 124, 126 and 128, 130, respectively.
- Transformers 120 and 122 couple the bottom 2 twisted pairs of wires to the PD circuitry via diode bridges composed of diodes 132, 134 and 136, 138, respectively.
- the diode bridges are arranged to enable the PD circuitry to receive power no matter which twisted pairs are utilized for sending or returning current.
- the transformers 108-122 may be data transformers of an Ethernet data transmission system. To preserve the clarity of the diagram, FIG. 2 shows only one winding of each of these transformers. As described in the IEEE 802.3af standard, the other windings of the transformers are used for coupling Ethernet physical layer (PHY) devices to the cable 16.
- PHY physical layer
- the current balancing circuit 102 controls the power supplied by the PSE power supply 106 so as to provide the same current in each of the top 2 twisted pairs used for sending current from the PSE 12 to the PD 14.
- the current balancing circuit 104 causes each of the bottom 2 twisted pairs used for returning current from the PD 14 to the PSE 12 to carry the same current.
- the current balancing circuit of the present disclosure may be used for providing the same current in each of the wires within a twisted pair of the wires.
- Each winding of the Ethernet data transformers coupled to the twisted pairs in the cable 16 may be split into two windings.
- FIG. 3 shows only a single Ethernet data transformer 202 coupled to a single twisted pair.
- the data transformer 202 may have capacitor C provided between the split windings connected to wires A and B of the respective twisted pair to provide an AC path for Ethernet data but prevent a DC current from flowing through the windings.
- the wires A and B within each twisted pair are no longer DC connected to each other.
- wires A and B in the twisted pair may be coupled to a current balancing circuit 206 that controls the power from a PSE power supply 208 to provide the same DC current flow in each of the wires A and B within each twisted pairs. If an excessively high DC current flows through the winding of the data transformer 202, its core will saturate. As a result, the data transformer 202 will not perform properly and may block Ethernet data transmission.
- the current balancing circuit 206 may balance the current between the wires of the twisted pair to prevent resistance in the connector contacts, the cable or other elements of the wiring plant from causing an excessively high DC current in one or the other wire and saturating the data transformer 202.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the current balancing circuit includes operational amplifiers 302 and 304 driving gates of MOSFETs 306 and 308, respectively.
- Sense resistors R sense1 and R sense2 are coupled to the MOSFETs 306 and 308, respectively.
- a reference voltage source 310 may apply reference voltage V ref to non-inverting inputs of the amplifiers 302 and 304.
- the inverting input of the amplifier 302 may be supplied with voltage V sense1 developed across the sense resistor R sense1 , whereas the inverting input of the amplifier 304 may be provided with voltage V sense2 produced across the sense resistor R sense2 .
- the sense resistors R sense1 and R sense2 may have the same value to enable the current balancing circuit to maintain the sense voltages V sense1 and V sense2 at the same level corresponding to a reference voltage level.
- the output of the amplifier 302 produces a voltage corresponding to a difference between the reference V ref and the sense voltage V sense1
- the output of the amplifier 304 produces a voltage corresponding to a difference between V ref and V sense2 .
- the output of the respective amplifier 302 or 304 responds by decreasing the voltage at the gate of the respective MOSFET 306 or 308. Reducing the voltage at the gate of the MOSFET will result in an increase of the MOSFET resistance, which will in turn reduce the output current of the MOSFET.
- the current balancing circuit in FIG. 4 may provide the same current at the outputs of the MOSFETS 306 and 308.
- the output currents of the current balancing circuit may be supplied via windings of the Ethernet data transformers to the respective twisted pairs of the Ethernet cable 16 to maintain the same current in each of the twisted pair.
- the output currents of the current balancing circuit may be provided to the respective wires within a twisted pair to keep the current in each wire at the same level.
- the reference voltage V ref may be continuously adjusted to provide the current demanded by the PD. Without such adjustment, the reference voltage V ref may be set to an excessively high level increasing the output signals of the MOSFETs 306 and 308 to excessively high values. As a result, the respective feedback loops that cause current balancing may be broken.
- the reference voltage V ref may be adjusted using a third sense resistor supplied with the current from both balancing sense resistors. All 3 sense resistors may have the same value to provide the reference voltage V ref at a level corresponding to the half of the voltage level across the third sense resistor.
- FIG. 5 illustrates another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the current balancing circuit uses a fixed or adjustable reference voltage.
- the current balancing circuit shown in FIG. 5 includes a current limit amplifier 402 and a balance amplifier 404 driving gates of MOSFETs 406 and 408, respectively.
- First and second sense resistors R sense1 and R sense2 are respectively connected to the MOSFETs 406 and 408.
- the sense resistors R sense1 and R sense2 may have the same value to maintain the currents flowing through these resistors at the same level.
- a reference voltage source 410 applies reference voltage V ref to the non-inverting input of the current limit amplifier 402.
- the inverting input of the current limit amplifier 402 is supplied with voltage V sense1 developed across the first sense resistor R sense1 .
- the output of the current limit amplifier 402 produces a voltage corresponding to a difference between the reference V ref and the sense voltage V sense1 .
- the output of the amplifier 402 responds by decreasing the voltage at the gate of the MOSFET 406. Reducing the voltage at the gate of the MOSFET 406 will result in an increase of the MOSFET resistance, which will in turn reduce the output current of the MOSFET 406 to maintain this current at the I LIM level.
- the balance amplifier 404 compares the sense voltage V sense1 with sense voltage V sense2 developed across the sense resistor R sense2 to maintain the sense voltage V sense2 at a level of the sense voltage V sense1 . As a result, the output current of the MOSFET 408 is maintained at a level of the output current of the MOSFET 406.
- the current balancing circuit in FIG. 5 may provide the same current at each of its outputs.
- the output currents of the current balancing circuit may be supplied via windings of the Ethernet data transformers to the respective twisted pairs of the Ethernet cable 16 to maintain the same current in each of the twisted pair.
- the output currents of the current balancing circuit may be provided to the respective wires within a twisted pair to keep the current in each wire at the same level.
- FIG 6 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which is an enhancement of the current balancing circuit shown in FIG 4 .
- switching elements 501 and 502 control the flow of current to magnetics and the PoE port.
- Current sense elements 503 and 504 provide an output that is proportional to the currents flowing through them.
- Difference amplifier 510 amplifies the outputs of the elements 503 and 504 producing a signal that is proportional to the difference between the currents flowing through the respective current sense elements.
- this signal represents the imbalance in the currents flowing through the elements 501 and 502.
- Difference amplifiers 505 and 506 compare the imbalance signal generated by the amplifier 510 to reference voltages produced by reference voltage sources 507 and 508. The output of the amplifiers 505 and 506 controls the switch elements 501 and 502, respectively, and thus controls the current flowing through them.
- the element 503 will generate a larger signal. This causes the output voltage of the amplifier 510 to increase.
- the amplifier 505 decreases its output voltage, decreasing the control signal to the switching element 501 and thus reducing the current flowing through the elements 501 and 503. This has the desired effect of bringing the current flowing through the current sense elements 503 and 504 back into balance.
- the PD to which the circuit in FIG. 6 supplies current presents an unknown load.
- the current draw of the PD may change rapidly and the PD may present impedance characteristics like inductance and negative resistance which could easily cause the circuit in FIG 6 . to oscillate.
- Careful choice of the reference voltages generated by the sources 507 and 508 can prevent oscillations. If the reference voltages produced by the sources 507 and 508 are chosen such that only one of the amplifiers 505, 506 is operating in a closed feedback at a time, then they cannot both participate in small signal oscillations. Once this is accomplished the circuit can be compensated by traditional means.
- the output of the amplifier 510 must be above the output of the reference voltage source 507. While amplifier 506 will only be in a closed feedback loop when the output of the amplifier 510 is below the output of the reference voltage source 508. So if the output of the reference voltage source 507 is chosen to be above the output of the reference voltage source 508, only one of the amplifiers 505, 506 can be in a closed feedback loop at a time.
